Known issue regarding Neighborhood Watch and New Game+
- If the host of a Neighborhood Watch session has an active New Game+ save, the session will be as difficult as New Game+, making it very challenging. The host needs to re-select their standard save before hosting Neighborhood Watch to fix this. Don’t worry—it won’t affect your New Game+ run, and you can switch back to your New Game+ save at any time.
- For mission objectives where you must kill a certain amount of zombies/need to hold out for a certain amount of time, it can happen that the objective does not seem to progress. The reason is that you probably missed a mission relevant zombie. To progress, search the nearby area for any zombie hiding and kill them.
